and replace with who?
A more seasoned coach like Mark Jackson
Who got fired because he was supposedly an ssshole with players and f/o despite a winning record. No thanks, glad we missed him. Coah K had a losing record in first three years at Duke and they were calling for his head. How'd that work out? Many were also questioning Jax's first choice for coach Kerr who would have lost here as well. He had the talent and won big. Fischer will be just fine
Great post. Also there calls for Jason Kidd to be fired in his 1st year too. A lack of patience is just par for the course in NY. Makes no sense to get too harsh with Fish given the issues last year. Once the trade was made things really got clearer. You could see his impact as a coach minus negative influences and bad fits.
People focus so much on the record but fail to notice the team actually did play better after the trade and even with Melo out of the picture. 5-35 before the trade and 12-30 after and most of that without Melo.
Fish has a better group now and hopefully they can get off to a far better start than last year. I don't expect that he'll have the same poor attitudes and resistance he had to start last year. Gotta hope there won't be any health issues as well.
